Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the precision of constitution wherein a part of lens group which moves in zooming moves even in focus adjustment by fitting a cam ring which has a degree of freedom in two directions, i.e. rotating direction and optical-axis direction around a fixed lens barrel, and transmitting the operation of a zooming ring and a focusing ring to the cam ring without mutual disturbance. CONSTITUTION:When the zooming ring 4 is rotated in zooming, the zooming ring 4 rotates without moving in the optical-axis direction and this rotation rotates the 1st moving frame 9 and a pin 15, so that the 1st moving frame 9 is extended forward while rotating. The cam ring 2, on the other hand, also rotates according to the rotation of the pin 15, and consequently cam grooves 1b and 2b of the fixed lens barrel 1 move relatively to move the 2nd moving frame 10. Further, the rotation of the cam ring 2 moves the cam grooves 2c and 2d, and the groove 1c of the fixed lens barrel 1 relatively to move the 3rd - the 5th moving frames 11-13. Thus, the zooming is attained and focusing rings 6 and 8 are still, in this case, together with the fixed lens barrel 1.

However, if this fS configuration is used for a high-magnification zoom lens that includes a wide-angle range, the amount of light will decrease or increase at the periphery of the screen. Problems such as a large fS increase occur. In order to solve this problem, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 57-37308 proposes a system in which a lens group that is moved for zooming is also moved during focus adjustment. In this proposal, each lens group is configured to be driven by a cam groove, etc. provided on a member that moves during zooming, and some lens groups are driven by a cam groove, etc. provided on a member that moves during focus adjustment. It is configured to be However, this configuration requires separate members f and f that move during zooming and focus adjustment, making the structure complicated, and the lens groups that move both during zooming and focus adjustment require separate operations. A complicated holding mechanism is sometimes required to allow different fλ movements. In addition, in a high-power zoom lens including a wide-angle range (it is a component), each lens can be installed with high precision, but if the configuration is as complicated as the conventional technology, the tilt of the lens group The greater the eccentricity, the more difficult it is to achieve high accuracy.

Also, if the lens group that moves during focus adjustment is located near the front of the zoom lens barrel, the focus adjustment operation member must be placed near the front of the zoom lens barrel, or in that case, as proposed in recent years, If you try to adjust the focus of the lens using the autofocus mechanism on the camera body side, the focus adjustment member will be far from the camera body, and the installation space for the part H that connects the two will be large. However, there may be some inconveniences such as low k transmission accuracy or low tl.Therefore, the focus adjustment operation member should be placed near the rear of the lens barrel (
If the lens group that moves during focus adjustment is located closer to the front of the camera body, it is difficult to transmit the i1% power from the operating unit assembly to the lens group.

Effects As described above, in the present invention, in the zoom lens barrel, a cam ring having degrees of freedom in two directions, the rotational direction and the fj direction parallel to the optical axis, is fitted to the fixed barrel, and zooming is performed. A zoom ring for adjusting the focus and a distance ring for adjusting the focus are provided.
Providing means for transmitting the movements of both rings to the cam ring so as not to interfere with each other, so that the cam ring can move in two directions,
When the cam ring rotates due to zooming, especially when the cam ring moves parallel to the optical axis due to the zooming mechanism that moves the lens group for zooming and the focus adjustment operation, the lens group that should be moved only during zooming is prevented from moving, and the focus adjustment is performed. A focus adjustment mechanism is provided to move only the lens group for use in the camera.

このため、単一のカム環でズーミングと焦点調節が行f

Furthermore, since the lens group that is moved only during zooming is not affected at all during focus adjustment, the manual distance control ring should be installed near the camera body regardless of the location where the lens group used for focus adjustment is installed. This makes it possible to reduce the installation space of the transmission means and improve transmission accuracy when power-driven focus adjustment is performed using the drive shaft on the camera body side.
